[Xen-users] Error: Had a bootloader specified, but no disks are bootable

["Sebastian Reitenbach" <sebastia@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I copied my root filesystem from one box to a harddisk partition /dev/sda8.
I started fdisk /dev/sda and added a bootable flag to partition 8.

Then I mounted /dev/sda8, chrooted into it, and ran a grub-install hd0.
Then I unmounted it, and tried to start the PVM host, but it ends short 
after the try to start for the following reason:


xm create /etc/xen/vm/VM3 -c
Using config file "/etc/xen/vm/VM3".
Error: Had a bootloader specified, but no disks are bootable

I am using the configuration file appended below.


ostype="openSUSE"
name = "VM1"
memory = 1890
vcpus=1
uuid="0a4a2999-bac9-6561-f9e0-a1494751c275"
on_crash="destroy"
on_poweroff="destroy"
on_reboot="restart"
localtime=0
builder="linux"
bootloader="/usr/lib/xen/boot/domUloader.py"
bootargs="--entry=xvda3:/boot/vmlinux-2.6.18.8-0.9-xen.gz,/boot/initrd-2.6.18.8-0.9-xen"

extra="TERM=xterm xencons=tty "
nographic=1
vif = ['mac=00:18:A4:78:F4:34,bridge=bridge0']
disk=[ 'phy:/dev/sda8,xvda3,w',
        'phy:/dev/sda7,xvda2,w',
        'phy:/dev/sda5,xvda1,w', ]

my host system is a opensuse 10.3 x86_64, the guest system opensuse 10.2 
i586. Obviously, I am still missing sth, so any pointer to what I might have 
missed, is higly appreciated.

thanks a lot
Sebastian
